This template is currently protected from editing.

This template can be used to stack images and other floating content such as infobox templates without causing problems with spacing and floating. Enter a string of images/templates as the first parameter to have them stack without generating floating errors or spacing errors. You can stack many objects from the top of a section and not force further subsections to space out.

Ùsaid - Usage

At its simplest:

{{Stack|<objects>}}

Alternatively, using {{Stack begin}} and {{Stack end}}:

{{Stack begin}}
<objects>
{{Stack end}}

The <object> may simply be a string of wikicode for many images/templates.

Paramadairean roghainneil - Optional parameters

{{Stack| <object(s)> | float=left or right | clear=true or false}}

or

{{Stack begin | float=left or right | clear=true or false}}

where

float= left or right (default is right)
This option can be used to float the stack to the left or right of the page
clear= true or false (default is false)
This option can be used to force the stack to the far left or right (e.g., near an infobox).

You can also explicitly list multiple arguments:

{{Stack| float=left or right | clear=true or false
|1=<object(s)>
|2=<object(s)>, etc. up to 9 parameters in the current version
}}

This multiple argument version does include extra vertical whitespace between each (set of) <object(s)>.

Eisimpleirean - Examples

To illustrate the utility of the stack templates, consider the following situation. We would like to have two right floating images at the top of the first section of our article (here, the Lipsum section), and one left floating image at the top of the second section (here, the Lorem section). To achieve this layout, without using a stack template, we could try the following code:

=====''Lipsum''=====
[[Faidhle:Simple shapes example.png|thumb|right|Example 1a]]
[[Faidhle:Simple shapes example.png|thumb|right|Example 1b]]
... text ...

=====''Lorem''=====
[[Faidhle:Simple shapes example.png|thumb|left|Example 1c]]
... text ...

=====''Ipsum''=====
... text ...

The result of this is shown in the without stack section below. Notice how the left floating image (Example 1c) is prevented from floating above the last right floating image (Example 1b). You may need to resize the width of your browser to fully appreciate the issue. To fix this problem, we can stack the two right floating images together, using the following code:

=====''Lipsum''=====
{{Stack |[[Faidhle:Simple shapes example.png|thumb|right|Example 2a]] [[Faidhle:Simple shapes example.png|thumb|right|Example 2b]]}}
... text ...

=====''Lorem''=====
[[Faidhle:Simple shapes example.png|thumb|left|Example 2c]]
... text ...

=====''Ipsum''=====
... text ...

The result of this is show in the with stack section below. Notice how by adding this stack template, the left floating image (Example 2c) can now float higher and is not blocked from floating higher than the top of the last right floating image (Example 2b).
